Matt's Graduation
On May 24th Matt graduated from California State University, Northridge with a bachelor's degree in Cinema, Television, and Film. He was accepted into the master's program with only 14 other students and will begin classes this fall.
Topanga Bluegrass Festival
Matt and The Dust Bowl Cavaliers were invited to play the main stage at the Topanga Bluegrass Festival this year. We spent the day listening to incredible folk and bluegrass music and Nora Lee got to try cotton candy for the first time. She is a fan of both.
Square Dancin' Fun!
Matt, Nora Lee and I went to a classic square dance and it was a BLAST! I had no idea how much fun the whole event would be! It started in the early evening with a family square dance followed by a cake walk and then an adult square dance. I was delighted by the sense of community that was created. I had no idea how to square dance but it didn't matter at all since we were beautifully led through the whole experience. I became a big fan and look forward to more square dancing opportunities!

Nature Class
Nora Lee has just started a nature class with several other homeschooling families. The class takes place at Topanga State park in the forest. It's a stunning place with fresh air, lots of trees and plenty of happy deer running around. The kids hike and study plants, animals, cycles of the earth, edible plants and much more.
This week they learned about time and different calendars and how humans have kept track of time in different ways throughout history. They made Native American "moon sticks" and will mark the stick each time there is a full moon to track the passing of one year.

Saturday in Ojai
Matt, Nora Lee, Hogarth and I went to Ojai with our dear friends, Lena, Josh, Dede, and Esme. We ate at an amazing cafe with fresh baked breads and pastries and other delicious foods. We walked around the tiny downtown area, played at a nearby park and simply had a lovely, relaxing Saturday afternoon.
